CONSOLE OPERATION
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console
powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will
initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will
count up from zero and the workload and incline may be
adjusted manually by pressing the incline and Level Up or
Down buttons. The dot matrix display will be showing a track
with a blinking dot indicating your progress as it travels
around the track.
BASIC INFORMATION
The Message Window will initially be displaying the elapsed
Time, Program Name and Distance (in miles). Each time the Display Button is pressed the next set of
information will appear. The next set of information displayed will be: Speed (in mph), RPM (pedaling
speed) and Watts
(indication of work level. A reading of 100 watts means you are doing enough work to light a 100 watt
light bulb). The third set of information displayed is: Calories, Level (work level from 1-20) and Pulse
(heart rate in beats per minute). Pressing the Display Button one more time will set the display to
show the Incline Level. Segment time is next, which is a count down clock for the current pro le
segment, then scan mode where the displayed information will change every 4 seconds.
The Elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the Contact Heart Rate
Sensors on the stationary handle bars or wearing the chest strap transmitter will start the heart (see
Heart Rate Programs) Icon blinking (this may take a few seconds). The Pulse Window will display
your heart rate in beats per minute and the HR bar graph will show your current % in relation to
projected heart rate maximum. The chest strap is a more accurate and reliable method of heart rate
reading. The hand pulse sensors are subject to false readings depending on user physiology and
workout habits including how one grips the sensors or how sweaty their hands are.
The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the
Stop key once during a program will Pause the program for 5
minutes. If you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of
the many things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great
feature. To resume your workout during Pause just press the
Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout
the program will end and a Workout Summary is displayed.
If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console
will perform a complete Reset. During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a
Previous Screen function. This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time
you press the Stop key. There is an Audio In Jack (
) on the front of the console and built-in
speakers. You may plug any low-level audio source signal into this port. Audio sources include
MP3, iPod, portable radio, CD player or even a TV or computer audio signal. There is also a
Headphone Jack (
) for private listening.
